Packages

Eryx has its own package index, the Eryx Package Index (EPI, pronounced eepy) and a package manager built into its CLI, accessible with:

eryx package <subcommand>

Available 'package' commands:
    install             Install a package
    uninstall           Uninstall a package
    list                List all installed packages
    upload              Upload a package
    delete              Delete a package

The default package repository is https://eryx-packages.shymike.tech.

Installing packages

To install a package, use eryx package install <name> and to install a specific version of a package, use eryx package install <name>@<version>.

Developing a package

Package Structure

The minimum package structure is:

<folder>
 ├── main.eryx
 ├── package.toml
 └── README.md

The folder name does not matter, the name is set in the package.toml file.

Package Files

• main.eryx - This is the package's entrypoint, set up all main functions and values that you want to be importable here.
• README.md - This is where the big package description is, it's displayed on the package's page.
• package.toml - This is where all of the package configuration is, it requires the format bellow:

[package]
name="<name>"
version="<version>"
description="<description>"

All Eryx packages must contain a README.md.

Uploading Packages

Packages can be uploaded to the EPI with:

eryx package upload "<package-folder>"

This will ask you for an API key (you will only have to do this once):

Please visit the following url to get your API key:

API Key:

After entering your API key, the package will be uploaded and available at:

https://eryx-packages.shymike.tech/package/<package-name>

And you can install it using:

eryx package install <package-name>

or

eryx package install  <package-name>@<package-version>
